4	4 (4) (15/8 +53%) Master Of My Fate		1.875 15/8(+53%)																															(4) Master Of My Fate 15/8, Latest win at Southwell in December. Ran creditably enough attempting to follow up from 4 lb higher mark when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 2/1) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Back in better form on Tapeta last month; ran well in sole attempt here.
7	7 (7) (7/2 +42%) Gogo Yubari		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(7) Gogo Yubari 7/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 13/2, wasted no time getting back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago. Can give another good account. On last winning mark and has a very good record (1211) at this course; strong claims.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +8%) Nogo's Dream		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(3) Nogo's Dream 11/2, Runner-up 6 starts in a row this year but remains with just a maiden win to his name. Well-backed 7/2, shaped better than the bare result when fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen 3 months ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks well capable of winning off current mark but he's a frustrating sort.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -54%) Rainyniteingeorgia		10 10/1(-54%)																															(1) Rainyniteingeorgia 10/1, 66/1 and had breathing operation, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, suited by way race developed to lead close home. Carries penalty but should be in the mix with a repeat. Badly in under a penalty but still warrants respect, being 2-2 at Lingfield.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +60%) Level Up		10 10/1(+60%)																															(5) Level Up 10/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Run best excused when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 33/1) 13 days ago, caught deep from poor draw. Won off 4lb higher over C&D last January; far from consistent since October.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -300%) Harb		11 11/1(-300%)																															(6) Harb 11/1, 4/1, won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) just over 6 weeks ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race to lead near line. Will remain competitive granted a strong pace. Got up in the final strides over C&D last time; remains well treated on peak form.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -56%) Diamond Dreamer		14 14/1(-56%)																															(2) Diamond Dreamer 14/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 10 runs last year. 18/1, length fifth of 7 to Rainyniteingeorgia in handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, keeping on when short of room final 100 yds. Suited by Lingfield; ties in with Rainyniteingeorgia on C&D running last time.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -155%) Pop Dancer		28 28/1(-155%)																															(8) Pop Dancer 28/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, run best excused when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) just under 3 weeks ago, racing wide. Should fare better from inside stall. Form dipped the last twice, taking 2024 score to 0-11; others preferred.

12:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A wind procedure worked the oracle for recent 66-1 C&D winner Rainyniteingeorgia and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Alice Haynes' filly. However, HARB looks a more solid proposition after his track-and-trip triumph in November and a 2lb rise may prove to be lenient. Nogo's Dream hasn't proved the easiest to win with, but the reapplication of cheekpieces could enable an improved bid.

Cases can be made for most of these but the most persuasive is for MASTER OF MY FATE, who doubled his tally at Southwell last month and ran creditably attempting to follow up from 4 lb higher at Wolverhampton 8 days later. Harb came late to resume winning ways over C&D just over 6 weeks ago, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Gogo Yubari and recent big-priced C&D scorer Rainyniteingeorgia taken to fight out minor honours.

Being a nicely treated contender who has an excellent record at this course, GOGO YUBARI (nap) is preferred. Harb is second choice.

4	4 (4) (10/3 +0%) Therapist		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(4) Therapist 10/3, Respectable third of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 17/2) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly back up in trip. Kept on strongly for third in valuable 1m2f fillies' race here last month; respected.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +33%) Knockbrex		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Knockbrex 4/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 22 days ago. Ended 2024 with three good runs over 1m2f, and this return to 1m4f ought to suit.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -25%) Crystal Mariner		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Crystal Mariner 5/1, 15/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material. Built upon promising stable debut when clear second at Kempton last month; shortlisted.
7	7 (7) (13/2 +19%) Raintown		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(7) Raintown 13/2, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win here in September. 8/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 4 days ago. Placed at Wolverhampton on Monday and sure to be suited by return to this C&D.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +13%) Gallant Lion		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Gallant Lion 7/1, 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Not dismissed back down in class. Down the field on first two stable starts; considered only if lively in the betting.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +13%) Hebridean Nomad		7 7/1(+13%)																															(9) Hebridean Nomad 7/1, Thrice-raced winner. 14/1, fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 31 days ago. Returned from long layoff with promising fourth here (1m2f) on last month's handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +40%) Damascus Steel		12 12/1(+40%)																															(5) Damascus Steel 12/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in October. 66/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do. Will find this easier than latest assignment but current mark demands a career-best run.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -133%) True Courage		28 28/1(-133%)																															(1) True Courage 28/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 6/1) 29 days ago, slowly away. Didn't fire last time but accustomed to stronger races than this; player if back on song.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -211%) Early Morning Dew		28 28/1(-211%)																															(8) Early Morning Dew 28/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 71 days ago, slowly away. Arguably in career-best form when last seen in October; back from ten-week break.

13:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Dropping back down in trip appears to be an interesting move for DAMASCUS STEEL, who has a good record over this sort of distance and can make the most of a competitive rating. Early Morning Dew was reliable to follow last year and needs to be taken seriously. The Nicky Henderson-trained Therapist reverts to the Flat on a winnable mark and also commands respect.

CRYSTAL MARINER has made a positive start for this yard, pulling clear of the rest when beaten only by a thriving sort at Kempton last time, and he's taken to go one better. Therapist ran well back on the Flat when third here last month and is feared returned to a more suitable trip, with Gallant Lion another to consider back down in class.

The one with most potential is HEBRIDEAN NOMAD, who was returning from a long absence when fourth on last month's handicap debut.

3	3 (3) (7/4 +71%) Tadreeb		1.75 7/4(+71%)																															(3) Tadreeb 7/4, Last win over C&D back in March 2022. In first-time cheekpieces, only sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 18/1) in September. However, he's dropped in grade on first run since leaving Michael Attwater. Regressed last year but may have been revitalised by a change of scenery.
1	1 (1) (5/2 -82%) Havana Sky		2.5 5/2(-82%)																															(1) Havana Sky 5/2, Course winner. Six wins from 12 runs last year, completing the 5-timer in good style in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/8) 7 days ago. Penalty might not be enough to prevent another victory. Very progressive 4yo who ended 2024 with five consecutive 6f wins; commands respect.
4	4 (4) (4/1 -14%) Charlie Mason		4 4/1(-14%)																															(4) Charlie Mason 4/1, Twelve runs since last win but ended 2024 in good form, caught too far back when third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Enter calculations. Placed twice over 7f when cheekpieces were added last month; probably in the mix again.
2	2 (2) (9/2 -29%) Lord Rapscallion		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Lord Rapscallion 9/2, Without a win since May 2023. Wasn't quite in same form as previous outing when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/4) 3 weeks ago, but he could be in the mix from his career-low mark. Only fourth when favourite last time but looked a shade unlucky off this mark two runs ago.
6	6 (6) (25/1 0%) Crow's Nest		25 25/1(0%)																															(6) Crow's Nest 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Ended last year with a lesser effort when eleventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but more needed to take advantage. 40-1 fourth over C&D last month but quickly back in the doldrums on latest outing.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Lahina Bay		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Lahina Bay 28/1, Promise on penultimate start, but was caught wide from poor draw when last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Has dropped back down to her last winning mark. Held her form well after 6f turf win in summer but ended 2024 with a disappointing run.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -230%) The Smiling Wolf		66 66/1(-230%)																															(7) The Smiling Wolf 66/1, Struggled for form last year, seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 40/1) 16 days ago. However, he lurks on a dangerous mark as he makes only fourth start for current yard. Safely held on first three starts for John Butler but still needs a check in the betting.
5	5 (5) (100/1 -400%) Juan Solo		100 100/1(-400%)																															(5) Juan Solo 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Back on turf after 4 months off, probably unsuited by conditions when last of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 28/1) in May. Has been absent for another 8 months since, though. Still unexposed but has been off since his 73l defeat on heavy turf in May.

13:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Havana Sky rounded out a five-timer with a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last week and is a must for the shortlist given he is 2lb well-in. However, his previous attempts over 7f were less inspiring and with that in mind, dual C&D winner TADREEB could be worth chancing from a whopping 22lb below his last winning mark. Lord Rapscallion is another viable alternative on these terms.

HAVANA SKY has been thriving of late, getting the better of another penalised runner when scoring at Wolverhampton a week ago, and he can go on to land the 6-timer in his current mood. Charlie Mason has made the frame on his last 5 starts and could be the main danger, with dual C&D winner Tadreeb also considered on stable debut.

The most obvious answer is thriving 4yo HAVANA SKY, who ended 2024 with five wins over 6f and is probably still ahead of the game.

3	3 (3) (3/1 +79%) Secret Strength		3 3/1(+79%)																															(3) Secret Strength 3/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 66/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Rhys Flint. Struggled during light campaign last year and has lots to prove on return for new yard.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +5%) Star Pupil		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(6) Star Pupil 10/3, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, too free at Chelmsford City (10f) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Worth another chance. Has struggled in his four handicaps; needs to get back on track on this drop back to 7f.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +33%) Kondratiev Wave		6 6/1(+33%)																															(7) Kondratiev Wave 6/1, Course winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Latest win at Brighton in October. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 25/1) 12 days ago. Four wins last year; had rare blip last time and he's respected back in trip.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -133%) Flag Carrier		14 14/1(-133%)																															(2) Flag Carrier 14/1, 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f). Off 100 days. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Well handicapped on his best form last year and needs checking in market back from a break.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -60%) Sonmarg		16 16/1(-60%)																															(4) Sonmarg 16/1, First run since leaving S. P. C. Woods when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 20/1) 16 days ago. Just one win from 17 starts and he struggled on recent stable debut; down the list.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -25%) Sedgemoor		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Sedgemoor 20/1, Last of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has lost his way and needs a tongue-tie to make a big difference back at this trip.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -233%) Mount Mogan		40 40/1(-233%)																															(8) Mount Mogan 40/1, C&D winner. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago. Last success was 14 months ago and well held on Polytrack in last two runs.

14:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Mount Mogan is notably well handicapped off 5lb lower than a C&D win 14 months ago, while Sedgemoor, in a first-time tongue-tie, and Star Pupil, who also tries new headgear, are potential improvers to consider. However, OVERNIGHT OATS, who has won four of his last five starts, is worth forgiving his latest effort given he was forced to race wide and didn't get a clear run over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Reverting to 7f and this venue can prove highly beneficial for James Owen's gelding today.

OVERNIGHT OATS can quickly resume winning ways in a weak event. The drop back in trip in first-time blinkers looks an interesting move for Star Pupil and he's feared most.

5yo OVERNIGHT OATS had a wide trip in his bid for a five-timer on Boxing Day and he can get back on the scoresheet here.

Remains of interest. Ran creditably on Monday; consistent sort who again has place possibilities.

5	5 (5) (9/2 +72%) Tribal Wisdom		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(5) Tribal Wisdom 9/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has remained in form since October win; Ryan Kavanagh's 7lb claim is a help; solid.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +25%) Detroit Lion		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) Detroit Lion 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Enters calculations. Has raced only four times and may be capable of progress; one to consider.
4	4 (4) (17/2 -21%) Rey De La Batalla		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(4) Rey De La Batalla 17/2, Course winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 40/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Gelded prior to shaping well over 1m here last time; stamina to prove over 1m2f.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Imperial Fighter		16 16/1(+20%)																															(6) Imperial Fighter 16/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. 0-20 since debut win and has largely unconvincing form for current stable.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -122%) Calanthe		20 20/1(-122%)																															(9) Calanthe 20/1, Course winner. Winner here in September. Ninth of 11 in juvenile hurdle (66/1) at Catterick (15.7f, good) on NH debut 17 days ago. Up in trip. Fair on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Successful in sole Lingfield run; fighting chance provided he stays new trip.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -120%) Joycean Way		22 22/1(-120%)																															(3) Joycean Way 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/8, second of 8 in novice at this course (7f, AW), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 14 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Makes handicap debut. Steady improvement in three races in autumn 2023 for Roger Varian; interesting.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -56%) Gordon Grey		25 25/1(-56%)																															(2) Gordon Grey 25/1, Latest win at Epsom in July. 11/4, second of 6 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Back down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Needs a career best to open his AW account; both turf wins off lower marks.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -56%) Stipulation		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Stipulation 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, very good fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Must improve again. Showed clear improvement the last twice; could take another step forward.

14:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The winner of two her last three outings, SILVER NIGHTFALL returned the emphatic winner over 1m3f at Kempton last time. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is taken to defy a 4lb rise on the strength of that form. Rey De La Batalla is of interest stepping up in distance after a creditable fourth over a mile here, while the unexposed Detroit Lion looks a likely improver for the Richard Hannon team.

SILVER NIGHTFALL continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and produced a career best to resume winning ways in comfortable fashion from a subsequent winner at Kempton last month and a 4 lb rise may underestimate her. Detroit Lion and Etretat both shaped better than the bare result last time and they head the dangers.

Handicap debutant JOYCEAN WAY looks interesting on his belated return to action. Silver Nightfall is second pick.

15:15 Lingfield Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SECRET FORCE left himself with plenty to do after missing the break at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The son of Frankel failed to threaten that day, but finished with a late flourish and Charlie Appleby's inmate will know more here. Boatswain cost 240,000gns as a yearling and is worth closely monitoring on debut with his yard in such good form, while both Queen Of Mercia and Broker Charlie represent powerful teams and are other newcomers to note.

The well-bred SECRET FORCE offered enough on his debut over C&D to suggest he can win a novice. There are some interesting newcomers in opposition, namely Boatswain, Broker Charlie and Queen of Mercia.

The form standard is ordinary but SECRET FORCE is one runner who could take a big step forward. A few of the newcomers are interesting.

15:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

DOUBLETHETROUBLE was left with plenty of ground to make up at Kempton last time but missed out by only a nose when bidding for a hat-trick. Another prominent showing is expected from the seven-year-old and he can resume winning ways. Daaris has gone close in both starts since winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and is another with solid claims, while Sophosc is potentially well treated on this return to 2m and cannot be ruled out.

ARCH LEGEND is down to a very attractive mark (successful off 55 and 61 in the spring) and looks interesting in first-time headgear after his good second over C&D under this rider 12 days ago. Further Measure shaped as if ready to end his losing run at Wolverhampton last week and rates the main threat ahead of Doublethetrouble, who was thriving when last seen in the autumn.

Being unexposed over 2m, ARCH LEGEND could well build on his C&D effort and go one better. Sir Joseph Swan is second pick.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
